cat-sized watermelons and other indignities
My last post overstated things. Prosciutto and butter and bread are excellent, yes. But that was then (May), and this is now (July), and the city has an ineffable stickiness that makes you root, root, root for the kids wasting … Continue reading

chocolate pistachio tart… and it’s a wrap
